I believe we have a problem with the instrument cluster dimmer switch on our 2002 caravan. They don't work.

The milage and shift display comes on when I put it in the first position after the dimmer section and the interior light comes on when it is in the last position, but here is nothing when it is in the variable section.

Two questions -
1 How do I remove the headlamp switch assembly? does it just pop out with a bit of persuasion?

2. If I get a switch with the fog lamp option will it work OK even thought it does not have fog lamps?

 

Without being possitive, I think a fog lamp switch will work on a none fog lamp vehicle. Here'''s the r and r for the switch. You can get it off easier, but you need to see another switch to explain it. Once you know where the retaining clips are, you can just pop it out.

REMOVAL

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the Instrument Panel Lower Steering Column Cover. Refer to Body, Instrument Panel, Lower Steering Column Cover, Removal.
3. Reach up behind the left side of the instrument panel and depress spring clip on top or bottom of headlamp switch. Firmly push out on the headlamp switch assembly.
4. Disconnect the wiring connectors.
5. Remove switch from vehicle.

 

Thanks Tizzy -- I'll be able to see the clips when I get the replacement switch.

 

Yep, then just go in under the bezel with a small flat blade or trim tool.
